Best Marijuana Argument Ever Given By Superior Court Judge James P. Gray

According to a March 2007 article in The Lancet, a peer-reviewed medical journal, alcohol and tobacco are more physically harmful and addictive than marijuana. After considering this research, why is marijuana outlawed when two legal controlled substances – tobacco and alcohol – are more harmful and addictive? Drunk driving-related deaths and lung cancer are much more devastating than any stigma or effect of marijuana, yet many Americans turn a blind eye to this.

"What I specifically said was that we were not going to prioritize prosecutions of persons who are using medical marijuana," Obama said. "I never made a commitment that somehow we were going to give carte blanche to large-scale producers and operators of marijuana -- and the reason is, because it's against federal law."The president continued: "I can't nullify congressional law. I can't ask the Justice Department to say, 'Ignore completely a federal law that's on the books.' What I can say is, 'Use your prosecutorial discretion and properly prioritize your resources to go after things that are really doing folks damage.' As a consequence, there haven't been prosecutions of users of marijuana for medical purposes."

Obama then shifted gears away from marijuana, saying that a "broader debate" on

I can't believe I voted for this duche and the primary reason was his statement on medical marijuana states.

It looks like Whiz does this often -- so you could imagine Wiz Khalifa could be popped for pot just about anywhere he dips, but some Nashville 5-O took advantage of the opportunity when Wiz was staying at a Holiday Inn.

If you’re a Sativa kind of guy (or gal) then you should get acquainted with J1. While I’ve seen the cross between Jack Herer and Skunk #1 labelled as a Hybrid, it is definitely an extremely Sativa-dominant hybrid. J1 has that potent lemony zest/citrus punch that is present in all strong Sativas. When you open your medicine jar of J1, your sinuses will get unclogged rather quickly. And you’ll be met with these beautiful, triched out nugs.

A Canadian biotechnology company that’s been growing plants underground for more than a decade at a former copper mine in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula wants to cultivate medical marijuana at the site.

The Detroit Free Press reports Prairie Plant Systems Inc. has a contract to supply medical marijuana in Canada and would need approval from state and federal officials to convert the mine in White Pine. Brent Zettl, the company’s president and CEO, notes the idea has major regulatory hurdles.Michigan voters approved medical marijuana use in 2008.

The company and its Michigan subsidiary SubTerra currently use the mine for plant-based pharmaceutical research. Prairie Plant Systems says it could employ 200 to 300 at the mine if the plan goes through.The mine shut down in the 1990s.

Dutch coffee shop owners went to court last week in a last ditch bid to block a government plan to stop foreigners from buying marijuana in the Netherlands.

Lawyers representing the coffee shops oppose what would be the most significant change in decades to the country’s famed soft drug tolerance: turning marijuana cafes into “members only” clubs open solely to Dutch residents.

Members would only be able to get into the coffee shops by registering for a “weed pass,” and the shops would only be allowed a maximum of 2,000 members.

The move comes into force in the south of the country May 1 and is scheduled to roll out nationwide on Jan. 1, 2013.Whether it will be enforced in Amsterdam, whose coffee shops are a major tourist draw card, remains to be seen.

The city has strongly opposed the pass idea and Mayor Eberhard van der Laan says he wants to negotiate a workable compromise with the country’s Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten.
